I maaged the Kindle jailbreak by slavishly following simple detailled instructions, but am struggling with gathering the information for the Nook ST.
So, is it fairly simple, or should I keep my sticky hands off?

If your NST is running firmware versions 1.1.5 and later, see
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2040351 for an automated backup/restore/rooting tool "Nook Manager". After your NST is rooted with the NM tool, you will need to use the NTGAppsAttack tool to install apps from Google Market (aka Google Play in newer Android versions).
If your NST is the non-Glow model, and is still running the older firmware v1.1.2 and which you happen to be content/happy with and have no desire to upgrade to a newer firmware, there is an older rooting tool MinimalTouch (v1.1beta5) posted at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1346748 which entails a bit more tedious rooting process, but the resulting firmware+rooting combo yields a setup that is ready for download and installation of Google Market apps without the need of a separate G-app installation tool.
Before attempting to root your NST, you should consider backing up the NST's
entire internal storage as a disk image (nearly 2GB) using the method described at
